This listing is for EITHER the Gingerbread Man pattern OR the Gingerbread Man plus Gingerbread Girl Expansion Pack patterns, both original crochet patterns by June Gilbank.
***** GINGERBREAD MAN DETAILS *****
Chunky and flat, just like the edible version, Gingerbread Man is crocheted amigurumi-style (in a continuous spiral) from only 35m (40 yds) of yarn and has only 4 pieces, so the pattern works up quickly with minimal finishing!
***** GINGERBREAD GIRL DETAILS *****
This Expansion Pack includes all the modifications for the Gingerbread Man pattern required to crochet a Gingerbread Girl with a built-in skirt.
***** DETAILS FOR BOTH PATTERNS *****
Yarn: approx 35m (40yds) worsted weight yarn per gingerbread person (the pictured samples use Bernat Satin yarn)
Hook: US E / 3.5mm
Size: approx 6" (15cm) tall. (Your gauge and yarn choice will affect the finished size slightly.)
Additional info: All the embellishment options pictured here are included in the pattern, but Gingerbread Man and Gingerbread Girl are the perfect blank canvas for you to decorate however you want - just like the edible kind!
You can create all sorts of expressions and accessories, personalise them to match your family members, and match the embellishment colours to your seasonal decor. Or keep the decorations as simple and fast as you want - it's completely up to you.
To make the small crocheted features pictured here, you'll also need:
- Embroidery floss (in black, white and red, or your choice of colours)
- B US/2.25mm crochet hook
Or, to make an extra-large gingerbread man (approx 8"/20cm tall), as shown in the 'Gingy' version, you'll need:
- Gingerbread: 2 strands of worsted weight yarn held together plus an I US/5.5mm hook
- Embellishments: 1 strand of the same yarn plus an E US/3.5mm hook
To decorate your gingerbread man in any way you choose, you could also use:
- Your choice of craft supplies (e.g. embroidery floss and tapestry needle, felt, buttons, beads, sequins, glue, fabric paint, etc)
PERSONALIZATION
Before you can complete your order, you'll need to enter "yes" in the 'Personalization' box to confirm you understand you are buying a single-user licence for a crochet pattern to make the item you see in the photos for this listing, NOT the finished item that you see in the photos. Your pattern will be downloadable as a PDF file from PlanetJune; see 'Delivery Information' below for details. All sales are final.
DELIVERY INFORMATION
This/these pattern(s) will be downloadable from PlanetJune.com as PDF file(s) once I have processed your order and issued your pattern licences. I aim to process Etsy orders once a day, even on weekends and holidays when I can, and within 24-48 hours whenever possible. I'll email you with your download details when your order has been processed - please check your Spam folder for an email with subject 'your PlanetJune download instructions' if you don't see my email!
I don't sell my patterns through Etsy downloads, as I don’t sell just *PDF copies of crochet patterns* as other Etsy sellers do, I sell *perpetual single-user licences* for my patterns, which give you far more! All pattern licences are processed through the PlanetJune shop, and they offer you all of my licencing perks (including unlimited downloads, free updates, customer support whenever you need it, etc - see 'Pattern Licence Information', below).
Your PlanetJune account gives you unlimited access to all your PlanetJune pattern purchases, in case you ever need to download another copy, or if there's an update to the pattern. If you don't already have a PlanetJune account using the email address you use for your Etsy account, I'll create one for you using that email (UNLESS you request the account be created with a different email address and/or as a gift - please see my shop's Frequently Asked Questions for gifting instructions).
PLANETJUNE QUALITY
All PlanetJune patterns include detailed written descriptions and crochet instructions together with clear step-by-step photos to demonstrate assembly and any special techniques or other potentially confusing parts. PlanetJune patterns are available in English language only, using standard (US) crochet terminology. Take a look at some examples of my pattern style and quality:

CANADIANS - PLEASE READ!
Please note that due to Etsy's policies for tax-registered Canadian sellers, the price you see when you order from PlanetJune via Etsy is GST/HST *inclusive*. The price may seem high because, unlike most other Etsy items, you will not be charged additional GST/HST at checkout on any PlanetJune items. I know this is confusing, so please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions about this (or anything else) - I'm always happy to help.
